I put mine on my Softail, but there's no reason you couldn't adapt the process to your bike.
I wanted to install a garage door opener on my scoot, without giving the MoCo $130 bucks, so I used an existing visor mount model, and installed it in the dash. From the outside, there is no way to tell it's there.
Not counting the connectors and wire, which I already had, and the opener, which I already had, I have a total of 9 bucks, and 2 hours in this project.
This is a really simple project, if you trust yourself with a test light, a continuity tester and a soldering iron.
Here's how to do it:
First, make sure you have a 12 volt unit. The battery will tell you how many volts. A 12v battery is near the diameter of a AA, but it is shorter. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
Second is the parts I needed. HD# 67880-94 is the rubber boot. HD# 67854-98 is the Speedometer Reset switch. The opener, some wire, I used red for hot, black for ground, and purple for the switch. A 3M Quick Connect, for the hot lead. Shrink tube and heat-shrink connectors, I like waterproof. And most important, if you follow the green arrow... Diet Coke. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
This is what it looks like, when you take it apart. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
This is the bottom of your circuit board. The red arrows point to the back of the switch. Note there are 2 poles to each side of the switch. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
This is the top of your circuit board. The purple arrow points to the switch, and the red arrows point to 2 of the poles. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
Here it is with all of the wires soldered in place. Note where the red arrow is I bent the corner of the switch up. I used a continuity tester to be sure I did not cross the switch, and found I had, so I bent it up a bit.
Be sure you know which pole is hot and which is ground for your power. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
Here it is finished, and reassembled. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
In the dash... Yellow arrow: Hot lead to the accessory lead under the ignition switch. Green arrow: Ground run to the bolt at the top of my engine guard. Red arrow: New switch installed. Purple arrow: I wrapped some weatherproof foam and tape around the unit. Orange arrow: Chickie's Butt. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
Here is the new switch installed... __________________________________________________ __________________________________________
And here it is once again, finished Green arrow: Speedometer/Clock/Odometer reset Red arrow: Garage Door Opener Orange arrow: Chickie's Butt

Thank you very much for the detailed proceedure. I have one question, can I use Diet Pepsi instead of Diet Coke?
